There comes a time when decisions need to be made. Is it better to enroll in KDP Select and offer freebies, or not?
So far, I've got Forever Young: Blessing or Curse still enrolled, as well as Girl of My Dreams.
I took my most recent romantic comedy, Her Handyman, off the program, but may put it back on later. I have mixed feelings about offering freebies. After a free event, I do get more sales, but then I wonder if some readers notice it's available free for Prime members, which means it will probably be free for everyone else for five days, somewhere along the line. That seems a double-edged sword.
Anyway, I'll see how the system goes, and learn if any other alternatives present themselves.
In the meantime, I'm not completely neglecting other sources, since two of my books, Killer Career, and Two Wrongs, are still available on all the Smashwords sites, as well as on Amazon.

Her Handyman
by Morgan Mandel |
Believe it or not, some readers still don't have their copies of my romantic comedy chick lit,
Her Handyman. Since that's the case, I'm offering another freebie promotion to get them in on the fun.
When: Friday, March 1 through Sunday, March 3
Where:
http://amzn.com/B0097EVXBKCome and get it & Tell your friends about it, too!
This is the story about the hardworking handyman who answers a frantic call in the middle of the night to fix a toilet leak in a penthouse bathroom.
The gal who greets him is totally strange. Dressed like a Flower Child in flowing blonde hair, with an orchid stuck in it, along with her gauzy blouse and gypsy skirt, a peace sign around her neck and a mood ring on her finger, she looks like she missed the Seventies boat!
Fufu, her Chinese Crested dog, the guilty party who started the flood in the first place, is even stranger looking, and not through in the devilment department.
Read all about their adventures in the Her Handyman Freebie Promotion this Friday March 1 through Sunday, March 3!
If you don't have a Kindle, you can still download to your PC.
Again, the link to this freebie is at

Rascal, when she's
being good! |
Dogs in books are quite popular, especially to me, since I've owned one dog or another for many years. Some of you may already know about my current dog, Rascal, a pit bull, who may yet show up in one of my books.
I included a Chinese Crested dog in my romantic comedy,
Her Handyman, since that strange type of breed seemed a perfect match for my quirky artist character, Zoe.
I also included a neighbor's dog in my romantic suspense,
Killer Career, but not in such happy circumstances.
I almost forgot to mention, my upcoming release, Blessing or Curse, also has a police dog in it!
To give proper due to man's and woman's best friend, I started a new Facebook Group, called Dogs in Books.

It dawned on me that next Tuesday is actually Christmas, and I'm not ready. Fortunately, the remaining gifts are gift cards, but I still need to get them. Then there's that matter of a snowstorm happening tomorrow, which will get in the way of accomplishing much outside my home.
Today, I just finished calculating my plan of attack on the monthly and yearly bills, which isn't easy for me, since I'm a word and not a numbers person. Amazing how many bills decide to happen in December!
Anyway, I'm almost ready to relax and celebrate Christmas when it happens next Tuesday.
What about you?
Whether or not we are, it will still happen, so Merry Christmas!

On my last post, I mentioned marking your calendars. If you haven't done so yet, and you enjoy reading romance, please mark your calendars for this coming Friday, Oct 12, and Saturday, Oct 13.
That's when my new novella,
Her Handyman, will be offered free at Amazon! Its link is:
Even if you don't have a kindle, Amazon has an easy way for you to download for other formats, so don't hesitate to take advantage of this offer.
Here's a link for easy downloading to your computer:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_pc_mkt_lnd?docId=1000426311What it's about:A novella length romantic comedy, with a dash of the serious. Longer than a short story, shorter than a full-length novel - just the right size for a busy reader!
Throw a crazy canine, a handyman, and a quirky artist together and you've got mayhem!
Who'd guess it's Jake, the handyman, who needs rescuing when he answers a call by the distraught artist, Zoe, to stop a toilet flood begun by her crazy canine, FuFu?
Jake's engaged to a sexy, perfect woman, and she's even a great cook! There's no room in his life for a quirky, rich artist, who eats raw vegetables and probably can't even boil an egg -- or is there? Are Jake's perfect plans about to be disrupted? If you do take advantage of the freebie, there's no obligation, but if you're so inclined, remember that authors love to get reviews on Amazon and/or Goodreads. Nothing fancy, but one or two sentences about some aspect you liked about
Her Handyman would make my day, and help my ranking!
Thanks a bunch!

Please stop by The Book Connection today. I'm over there sharing about the dog who owns me, and the one who owns my heroine in Her Handyman, my new romantic comedy - Here's the link - http://thebookconnectionccm.blogspot.com/2012/09/guest-blogger-morgan-mandel-author-of.html
Thanks,Morgan Mandelhttp://www.morganmandel.com
Several authors have interesting new releases this week that I thought I'd share, including our own Morgan Mandel!
* Morgan Mandel has a new romance! HER HANDYMAN is a novella-length romantic comedy (Kindle), with a dash of the serious. Throw a crazy canine, a handyman, and an artist together and you've got mayhem! Who'd guess it's Jake, the handyman, who needs rescuing when he answers a call by the distraught artist, Zoe, to stop a toilet flood begun by her crazy canine, FuFu? Jake's engaged to a sexy, perfect woman, and she's even a great cook! There's no room in his life for a quirky, rich artist, who eats raw vegetables and probably can't even boil an egg -- or is there?
* Deb Baker has a new Gertie short out. In MURDER BEGINS AT HOME, A Gertie Johnson Murder Mystery, (Kindle) (Gertie Johnson has her hands full with her wily ninety-two-year-old mother-in-law, who is writing a secret guide to controlling husbands and using local stories as examples.
When an old-timer goes missing and winds up right next to a dead body with the murder weapon clutched in his fist, The Trouble Busters spring into action. Before this investigation is over, Gertie will have a few behind-the-scenes relationship stories of her own. She doesn’t know it yet, but living to tell them is going to be the tricky part.
* Author couple Jim and Joyce Lavene also has an interesting new entry in their Renaissance Faire mystery series. How can you beat toys and the Ren Faire? In TREACHEROUS TOYS, (Kindle and paperback), Jessie Morton finally gets her holiday dream job at Renaissance Faire Village, working as an apprentice to the new toy maker. But when Chris Christmas is discovered dead just hours after her arrival, Jessie’s holiday plans start to melt away.
Jessie can’t imagine who would want to silence the toy maker, but apparently the red-cheeked Chris Christmas liked toying with the ladies. Although it may be her shortest apprenticeship ever, she wants to unwrap the truth before word gets out in the village that it’s not safe to be Santa—or one of his helpers…
* And something fun: sign up for Tor’s newsletter and be entered to win a graphic novel collection here.

After my Fortune Hunt, I was
happier than she is! |
Some of you ladies may not relate to this. You're the perfectly organized ones, with spotless homes, and always put everything in its place. You'd never think of changing purses without completely emptying the first purse before using the next.
I feel sorry for you, because you're missing out on playing the Fortune Hunt.
Here's how you play it. When you change purses, you don't empty the first one completely. In your hurry to get the next purse ready, you leave stray items inside the first: receipts, shopping lists, paper money, especially singles, and a bit of change.
Then you forget about using that first purse, or decide you just don't like it as much. You don't throw it away. You put it in the closet. Well, this goes on with more than one set of purses, because, let's face it, if you love purses as I do, you'll have plenty to play the game with.
Now comes the really fun part. When you need money, you go on the Fortune Hunt. I went on one this morning and found sixty dollars in my purses, plus eight dollars in change laying around my desk in singles and change! I'll use it all on my next vacation.
A little something of how this ties in with books. It just so happens that Zoe, the heroine in my upcoming romantic comedy release,
Her Handyman, is also not a neatnick. She's an artist, and is more caught up with painting than inessentials. Well, she doesn't have to go on a Fortune Hunt, because she's got tons of money, but at least I admire where her heart is, with her passion, not stuff that doesn't matter as much.
Her Handyman Coming Soon to Kindle!

I've sent Her Handyman off to my editor, the talented Helen Ginger.
While I had a little downtime I gathered everything together about the book and put it into a 7 pocket folder.
I also sorted out lots of other papers on my desk and put them into two pocket folders with huge mailing labels stuck to their tops saying what they were about.
For a brief time I'm organized, but soon I'll be going at Blessing or Curse, the sequel to Forever Young.
Then once again chaos will reign!

Things have been hectic lately, since I've been working on a new romantic comedy, which I'm calling
Her Handyman.
I hope to have it out and about by the end of August. In the meantime, I'm offering a sneak peak at the cover.
Yes, this one has a dog in it. It's a Chinese Crested.
The only resemblance between this dog and my own dog, Rascal, is they both are white with black spots.
This one is cute in an ugly sort of way, which fits into the story.
Now, I'm back to my writing.

While about 80% of my sales are through Amazon (I recently had a couple on Amazon Germany, woohoo!) I do get steady sales on B&N, Smashwords, and a few other sites. I think it's best to be widespread.
